The morning we received Swedish Papers to the 14th inst. frcim which we'have made the following extiat:As:— • BANKS OF THE MEIN, JUNE 2g.—They speak of political events of the highest importance, which are 'to - take place in Servia. The general report is, that the Servians intend to acknowledge the Emperor of AUSTRIA for their Sovereign, 'upon their constitn tion,,liberties, and privileges being guaranteed. If such really is the design of the negociations with Hie Court of Austria, this power will, without doubt, take no part in it, previous to conferring with the Courts,of France and Russia,. ; We are as that .t he Porte will without difficulty renounce the sovereignty of Servia, provided this province does inr, pass under the dominion of Russia. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VENICE, DATED JUNE 17. Thz English fleet which was in - sight 'of Venice ore yes is exp' were confined to the taking of some boats. oits We work, with the-greatest activity in thearsenal in construCling many ships of war and frigates, and • in refitting' the RusSian corvettes which, remain in 6this port. Nl,re_shall soon have a numerous flotilla to oppose the enemy. We have been occupied here, and on all the coasts of the Adriatic sea, for some months, in collecting sailors for this flotilla. VIENNA, JUNE 14.—Some executions, for a time, suspended the disorders of . the Janissaries at Con stantinople, but they were 'quickly renewed, and that town is in the most afilittiog situation—it is threatened with famine: Provisions are very dear in it, in spite of all the cares of Government ; and the Janissaries are guilty of she greatest disorder when. ever they have an opportunity. We cannot foresee how this critical state:of affair's will terminate. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, FROM VIENNA,' JUNE 23. " We learn from Tuikey, that the Russian army has crossed the Danube in.three places, and that a very important affair resulted in consequence be-. tween the advanced guard of General SAss, and a corps commanded by Pasha PELWAN AGA. We expect the details of it." FRANKFORT, JUNE 27.-114ny public Papers re 7 port, that Couriers have set out irom Constantinople , with important dispatches for the French Court. STocituur.zu, JULY g.—ln consequence of his Royal Majesty having ordered, at the request of Count FAEIAN FERSEN . , the seals to be put on all papers and effects found in the house of the late Marshal COunt AXEL FERSEN, the proper Officers of she Supreme Court of Justice went accordingly on tbe - 2d of this month, to .the dwelling-house of the deceased, and not only sealed up all the bOreaus, desks; &c. which contained any papers, but who put the seals of the Court on all the doors of the rooms which contained any of his effects. A report having been lately thrown into circula tion, that a chamber-maid .61 the. Countess PIPER bad suddenly expired, his Majesty ordered the Chancellor of Justice to examine into she truth of the said account, and if founded, into the cause of the death of the . decedsed. .Aninquiry was accoiding- , ly instituted, the result of wluoi, Is, that 'the above re port hat been found altogether unfounded, and that the chamber-tnaid alluded to attended the Countess to Wax.holin, and is still alive. Mr. H. J. BRUNN has been appointed Imperial Russian Consul in Gottenburg, Udddwalla; Mar strand, Stromerg, and Warberg. We present our readers this day with some letters that were intercepted in Spain. They Pare in the :•osbession of the Marquis ROMANA, as authenticated y Colonel CARROL. The letters shew what indeed has been too fully manifested, the determination of BUONAPARTE 1. 4 ) effel the subjugation of Spain, by a perseverance in the most atrocious cruelties to vw4ds all of the inhabitants who are attached to their country, and hostile to an usurper. They also shew.what has fortunately been equally manifested, but of which it is always gratifying to receive new proof; the unconquerable'antipathy of the Spaniards to the French, " but that," as one of the letters " neither the misfortunes which they have experienced, nor the fear of *punishment, -or, arty consideration whatever, can Soften the inveterate hatred which they feel towards the present Govern- Inent and against the French name."—This detesta tion has been excited by such flagitious conduct, 'that. it is not likely to abate, and we trust will enable them finally to triumph over their execrable in vaders. states, The Friends of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, have at' length resumed their courage, and have once more ventured to obtrudd themselv.es and their idol upon . public . notice. They profess to have forgotten the disgrace and the ridicule to which they were exposed by the failure of the grand procession, and to have forgiven Sir FRANCIS fig the unfeeling and ungrate ful trick which he played them, and a public dinner is to seal the reconciliation of these - amiable * parties. It seems however to have been no easy' matter to heal up the breach between the Baronet and his Friends ; and indeed We 'are strongly inclined to suspeEt that they are not yet :horoughly recociled to him ; but he is useful to them—they could not easily find another man who would so effettually serve' their purpose, and therefore it was necessary that they should forget, or at least appear to forget, the insult which he offered them. They however pouted much longer than we believe'Sir FRANCIS and his confidential advisers expeaed, and therefore hints were industriously thrown out that the great Patriot meant to retire from public life, and to Withdraw his amazing talents from the public,ser vice. This threat appears' to have had the desired effect; the procession manufacturers nobly resolved 'to sacrifice their own feelings to the general good, and to revive the expiring cause of patriotism by a public dinner. Sir FRANcXeS answer to the invitation contains a - clumsy attempt at wit, which woe should - have thought he might have well spared. Wh l en he re . • collects the consequences produced on a former oc casion by his. misconduct,' he ought to feel senti ments very . different indeed from those of gaiety. The baronet intimates the possibility, that on the celebratiOn of his releasetron prison, the -( 1 Com mander in Chief, and a Secretary of State, should draw out a numerous army, with a train of ariil'- lery, to declare war in our streets against roast 'beef." What must be tluiught of one who can write in this manner, after the destruClion of s e v eta l o f hi s countrymen in consequence of the. tumult. which his riotous followers occasioned. It seems to indi cate a total want of refle&ion and humanity ; and, indeed, of the common sentiments and feelings of mankind, particularly, too, after his clandestine . ' elopement from his friends and partizans, which from the disappointment it occasioned, might have produced the , most dreadfnl,excesses of popular com motion. On. Wednesday the Dumfries-shire Regiment, of Militia (800 strong) arrived at Woodbridge B acks. Tlie regiment carne from Leith, and landed the day before 'lron.* transpOrts at Landguard Fort. The Hon. Lord CATHCART, Commander in Chief for Scotland, accompanied by his &aft,. is now on a tour to he'North, for toe purpose of inspeeting the different regiments, and last week inspected various , Local Regiments . of Militia, as also the Fifeshire Regiment of Militia, and the 2d Bat'talion of the 79th Foot, at Dudlop Cas:le. Letters from Paris, of so late a date as the Mb, has reached town. They relate principally to mer cantile concerns. At a late meeting of ihe council of State, it is said to hate been determined to grant . licenses to 40 vessels, io - proceed to America, and 'bring home cargoes of cotton for the use of the ma nufatturers. Tire penalty of confiscation was to'fol low any communication with a British part.. Some vesselS .. were also to be licensed, to import cochineal and indigo, under a simiEr penalty. The Oporto-Fleet arrived yesterday. One of our letters (ram thence, dated the 4ti, inst. staies,, that there had been a commotion at Ovar, during an at tempt to rate recruits for the Militia. , It appears a that some Officer s , accompanied by Magistrate, endeavoured to press into the' service several fisher men; the latter resisted, and in the affray the Ma gistratehad his legs broken, and the Officers were Wounded. Means were immediately taken for the purpose of securing the offenders, hut they took to their vessel, and set sail before • they could be arrested. The following correspondence . bar -taken place be tween two Members of the West • .inster Committee and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT :--- " Crown and Anchor '. a vern, Strand, July IS.

Yesterifak morning, about four o'clock, a most tremendous fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Paris, printer, in Took's-court, Chancery-lane. The flames raged vehemently for an hour' before any . water could be procured, and irlevitable destruclion seemed to await many of the ajoining houses. The 'fire was communicated to several houses in the neighbourhood, by means of many very lirge flakes Which were carried some distance-by the violence of the ind---,timely aid and assistance, .however, pre vented any material damage. The Printing Office, which is detached from the house, escaped without much'injury, -but the' , xareliouse and other offices are now oae/heap of ruins... We have not heard that any lives were lost. Some part of the property was insured. COACH ROBBERY.—TWO men, rather genteel in their appearance, took a hackney 7 coach off the stand in Piccadilly, on Thursday night, and desired the coachman, whose name is Raven, to drive to BA tersea. They alighted near the bridge, and, when the coachman was counting the change for a pound note, he was knocked down and rubbed of 18s. and his watch. IRELAND.—We are happy to I . arn by accounts from different parts of the country, that vegeta tion of every description, particuhrly wheat, po tatoes, and barley, never wore a more plentiful or , promising appearance, notwithstanding the great drought, which was so very providentially strceed ed by titnely "and gentle showers of rata, (Limerick Paper.) • 'stationed at Puerto de ,Banos, effected ,their escape, and passed .this town 'with their arms and accoutre- meritg I lave now the satisfaaion of communicating to your Excellency, that eight more have - advanced .to th.

They have now ready .fiN e large boats, each with its cable or rope, which crosses the river from side to side„ besides seven boats managed with oars. They continue making preparations for carpenters, but have no wood to work 'upon. The entire garrison is' stationed within the new town and new The fortification which appears to command the town from the south is merely for deception,. not hem; intended for-use. At night, 12 men remain at this side of the river to guard the boats which they bring to the new town.—They began to build a bon s se on the height at this part of the river which commands the boats. They have ceased to work at , this some time•—we know not , why. 1 4 , V. LENOR D. F. Sen. State of the French Troops from Madrid to the Bridge of Almarez. Report from tbe Ca§a Tejada, June la. Alen.
